He didn’t have a professional camera or any followers. He had a cellphone, some free time, and an idea that sounded like a bad joke.
A 22-year-old student said on Reddit (the post has since been deleted, but the screenshot made its way across half the internet) that he pretended to be a woman on FeetFinder, a platform where people sell photos of feet.
He shaved, moisturized, learned which angles worked best, and uploaded his photos with a fake profile.
What started as a plan to cover basic expenses in a foreign country turned into a steady income.
What surprised him most wasn’t the money, but how easy it all turned out to be: you upload photos, set your price, accept custom requests, and get paid.
Oh, and at some point people started asking him for used socks. No one prepared him for that part of the business 🧦😅
